THE CHANGE A LIFE TOUR - SPRING 2014
*Dates, markets and venues subject to change without notice.

ABOUT AUDIO ADRENALINE
Since they became a band in the mid 90’s, to date Audio Adrenaline has sold over 3 million records, has garnered two GRAMMY® Awards (for Best Rock Gospel Album of the Year for Until My Heart Caves In and Worldwide) and multiple Dove Awards. The band has achieved 17 No. 1 singles, was awarded CCM Song of the Decade for “Big House” and their 1996 album Bloom received RIAA Gold certification. In 2007, Audio A’s lead vocalist Mark Stuart had to step down due to a medical condition called spasmodic dysphonia (involuntary muscle spasms of the larynx). Forced to stop singing altogether, the band chose to disband, turning their energies to their Hands & Feet Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing long-term, family-style care for orphaned and abandoned children of the world with the love of Christ. In 2012, prompted by a series of conversations with noted CCM artist manager Wes Campbell (Newsboys), Mark Stuart and Will McGinniss re-launched Audio Adrenaline, in partnership with Campbell and his agency, First Company Management. Together, they invited former DC Talk vocalist Kevin Max to be the new frontman for the band, as well as rounding out the new lineup with several CCM veteran musicians. Together, Audio A returns with the same heart, passion and infectious musical prowess, while serving as spokesmen for the Hands & Feet Project.

Original band members Mark Stuart and Will McGinniss are still very much a part of the re-formed band. McGinniss continues his role as the band’s bassist while Stuart is very much a part of the overall brand management, writing for the new album as well as serving as Hands & Feet Project’s Executive Director. With the addition of Max as lead vocalist, CCM vets Dwayne Larring (Sonicflood) on guitar and Jared Byers (Bleach) on drums, Audio Adrenaline made its highly-anticipated Fair Trade Services label debut with Kings & Queens in 2013. Net proceeds from album sales will go to Hands & Feet Project, the ministry that was founded by Stuart and McGinniss in 2004.

The band has had 12 No. 1 radio singles across all formats including their major hits “Strong Tower,” “What Faith Can Do” and “Carry Me To The Cross.” In 2012, Kutless released their most recent studio release, Believer, to much media and sales acclaim debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian & Gospel Chart as well as No. 1 on the iTunes Christian Albums chart.
